8 GB PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMMs (DDR2-667) (4 x 2 GB)
All HP ProLiant DL580 G5 systems come standard with 4 banks of memory sockets spanning 4 memory channels for a total of 16
DIMM sockets on board memory . Memory slots xA and xB already populated with memory (2P models with 4x 1GB FBDIMM
memory modules and 4P models with 4x 2GB FB DIMM memory modules) to help achieve maximum performance.

Upgrading Memory and Memory Interleaving

Upgrading Memory and Memory Interleaving
To achieve maximum memory performance and flexibility, the HP ProLiant DL580 G5 requires memory to be upgraded in groups of
four identical FBDIMMs populated across the four memory channels. In simple terms, the two FBDIMM locations at xC and the two
xD locations must be populated with four identical part numbered FBDIMMs. Memory population continues by populating locations
xE and xF, then xG and xH. FBDIMM architecture does not allow any gaps in this sequence such that if locations xE and xF were
populated and xC and xD were not, the memory at xE and xF would not be recognized by the system.
